:- u mu; Conviction for Rape.’---A monster, by the name of Samuel Cordery, was convicted at Camden, N. J. a few days since, for a rape upon Beliali Steelmaii a little girl about 13 years of age, and sentenced by Chief Justice Hornblower, to four years imprisonment in the State Prison. The circumstances are these ;---Miss Ste‘elman’s parents live at Egg Harbor. She had been in Camden or the neighborhood at school ---wished to return home. Her father em- ployed Gordery, a regular trader between the shore and Phil-adelpliia, to bring her home. It was shown that at the time ap- pointed, Cordery, and Peter Boice, with their two waggons, called for her at Dog- woodtown, near Camden Ferry---that she got into the waggon with Cordery---tliat within one mile ofthat place he accomplish- his infernal purpose, and that, too, before they had reached Haddonfield, where they stopped about nine o'clock in the evening. After remaining there a short time they started, and Boice left his own waggou in which another girl was ridiiig and got in with Miss Steelmaii. Miss. S. was much pleased with the change at first, but soon found another monster in human shape. He used her less ceremoniously than Cor- dery. Cordery is a man of respectable coiincx- ions, and has a ‘wife and four children. The Newark Sentinel, cliaraetcrises this outrage as an abominable instance- of lin- man depravity, of the predominance of brutal sensuality, which shows man, without moral principle, to be worse than a wild beast, in need of a master, and only safe in chains. A mistalrc.---A poor fellow, recently from some of the canals or rail roads, with more money than good luck, went into a tavern and obtained something to drink, in pay- ment ofwliicli, he offered a ten dollar bill on the U. States Bank. The note was im- mediately pronounced to be counterfeit, and he was forthwith di'z1gg'ed, and with no lit- tle violence either, to the police office, where a charge was preferred against him in due form forpassing counterfeit money. Being too much excited and having taken too much ardent spirits immediately to answer the charge, he was committed for the night, and was brought up yesterday and interro- gated by the magistrate. In answer to the question how he came by the note, he re- plied,that he had worked for it, and had it out ofthe big bank in \Vall st. That can’t be said the magistrate---they would not pay counterfeit rnoney,—--Counterfeit or no counterfeit, replied the examinant, I got it with several others, and that’s all I know about it. The note was here taken up and critically examined by the magistrate who pronounced it a good one, but for greater certainty it was sent to the bank and ascer- tained to be genuine. The prisoner was of course immediately set at liberty. N. Y. Cour. ts‘ Enqr. Great Frcslzet in the Savannah River.-— By the Augusta papers we perceive that a tremendous freshet took place in Savannah river, Augusta. On Monday évening the water rose 3'2 1-2 feet above low water mark, inundating the whole of the adjacent country—the city was surrounded by water, and all the roads, and nearly half of the common on the S. side was completely over- flowed. Nearly the whole of lower Ham- burgh was under water, from the river to the high ground in the rear. The water rose within 6 or 7 feet of the floor of the Angus- ta Bridge. That noble structure, we are glad to learn, withstood the torrent. Two negroes were drowned, in endeavoring to cross Beaver Dam. The Savannah mail was left far below Augusta. The river had fallen three or four feet on the evening of the 9th.--Cliarleston Evening Post. Destructive Fire.-~-“ Maysville,” says the Maysville (Ky.)

Salem, April I2.-—Letters were received in this town, on VVednesday last, from Val- paraiso, stating the arrival there ofthe whale ship Catharine, Capt. Paddock, of this port, and some particulars ofa melan- choly affair in which the captain was en- gaged. After the arrival of the Catharine, Capt. Paddock went on shore in a derang- ed state of mind, and entering a merchant’s compting room, killed both of his clerks. He then went into the street and attacked two Spaniards one of whom he killed on the spot, and wounded the other severe- ly. He then struck at six or eight more persons, several of whom he injured. 1" He was afterwards apprehended, tried, and sentenced to be shot; but the American Consul interfered, and a new trial was gran- ted. Since the above was in type we received the following particulars of the fatal trans- acton copied from aValparaiso paper of the 7th of January, received at Boston. On the 21st Dec. the following occur- rence took place at Valparaiso. Capt. H. Paddock, ofthe American ship Catherine, (whaler) beingin the house of Messrs. Al- sop & Co. seized a clasp knife and stabbed to death two of the clerks of the house, viz: Messrs. Gen. Kern and Jose Feliciano Sal- gado; he rushed out of the house, and on his‘way to the mole, killed in the same manner, Jose Joaquin Larrain, seriously wounded Capt Wheelright, of the Ameri- can schr. Fourth of July,‘ and four or five laborers who were at work, and a boatman. It was impossible to prevent these acts, the ter was captured and committed to prison. He was tried, and notwithstanding the plea of insanity, he was sentenced to be shot and the body to be publicly exposed for twenty four hours. An appeal took place; it was stated that the unfortunate man had never shown any symptoms of mental derange- ment until iiow, and that the cause was supposed to be the had success of his fisl'i- ing voyage. It is the first time he had commanded a vessel. The Court however confirmed the sen- tence and ordered Paddock to be executed on the morning ofthe ‘..’.(itli of Dec. at l0 o’clock on the mole. Accordingly ev.cry preparation was made, a number of persons had collected to witness the execution, when the sentence was suspended by order of the Judge, the counsel of the prisoner liaviug wished the Court to hear furtlier proofs of the insanity of his client. The Court again decided that sufficieiit proof did not exist of insanity, and confirmed the first sentence. The Charge d’Afl'aii'es of the U. States had solicited the Congress of Chili, for a remission thereof. The Cori- gress assembled on 31st Dec. to deliberate upon it, and returned for answer that it could not accede to the solicitations of the Charge (l’Aft'aii'es. In this state, according to the last advi- cos it remained; another appeal had ta- ken place, and it was the general opin- ion that the sentencc would not be ex- ccutcd. G'cm'gcfown, (Del.) April l'2.—S/ioclcing attempt at Robbery and Zlfu-rdz.r.——\Ve un- derstand that a base attempt at robbery, with intention to murder, occurred at a house near the head of Sassafras River, a few nights since, on a Mr. Baldock, by which the assassin fortunately fell a victim to his own hellish designs. The particu- lars as far as we are able to learn by report are, that Mr. Baldock, who was rcturiiing home after having disposed of it drove of horses in the lower part of this State, was persuaded to remain all night at the house of an acqutiintancc, near the head of the Sassafras. In the evening his best made prentence of business at the house of a neighbor, upon which, and the apparent uneasy conduct of his host’s wife. Mr. Baldock became suspicions that all was not right, and requested to be shown to bed. He took a light and went up stairs, and looking out of the window, «he discovered a person digging near the house, and after- wards saw a negro approach the place where the man appeared to be digging a hole, with a spade in his hand, upon which he became seriously alarmed, loaded his pistol, decended the stairs, went to the sta- ble, saddled his horse and departed, but had not proceeded far before he was hailed by the person digging, and asked why he was going, away, that he thought he was going to remain with him alluight; upon which Mr. Baldock stopped his horse, and told him that he had intended to, but urgent business required his immediate rctnrii to thehead of the Sassafras, when the man who proved to be his host, sprang out ofthe hole, which was no doubt intended for his guest, caught the horse by the bridle and demand- ed his money, when Mr. Baldock put his hand into his pocket as if to draw forth the money, but instead drew out his pistol and instantly fired; the ball entered the rniscreat’s breast and he fell to the ground. Mr. Baldock immediately proceeded to the Sassafras and told his adventure. He did not kill his assassin on the spot, butit was supposed he could survive but a short time VVe have not been able to lean the name of the assassin. The danger of Tea-Drinlcing.---'l‘lie South Carliniaiis are famous for their fervid eloquence: the Tariff combined with the heat ofclimate, is the souce of much inspi- ration. General Hamilton, iii a late‘ meet- ing at Charleston, made a speech which was received with rapturous applause. - moiig other things, he said, “He had him- selfmade an importation, having made a shipment ofrice to the Havana, and order- ed a return cargo of sugar. He would allow his importation to go into the custom- house store, and wait events. He would not produce unnecessary collision ; but, if our hopes of a satisfactory adjustment of the question were disappointed, he knew his fellow citizeiis would go cvcnto the death wit/i lzim for his sugar.---[--He was inter rupted by an unanimous burst of accord.] “ Go to the death for sugar!” In the be- ginning of the Revolution, the quarrel with England was about tea. The Bostonians went even to the death of tea! It is now a tax on sugar that is to produce a further split in this great continent. It is curious to think, that that great country should always be going to loggerheads about a cup of tea. Tea must be a very combustible material; I/Ve have had some ill-temper shown on the subject at home, and have pu it an- der :1 Board of Control. In the shape of slavery,’ it has kept this country, and its tea, in hot water for thirty years. Pope speaks of a lady who never took a dish of tea without a stratagem; and it seems she was in the right, for it appears a very dan- gerous thing. America has fought and bled for its cup of tea first, and is now like ly to do the same for sugar to be put into it; while the ill-blood that has been made here, and the blood that has been spilt in the col- onies, altogether proves a cup of tea to be a beverage brimming with strife and disunion. Its effects may be observed on old maids; tea and scandal are always coupled togeth- er; but when iiatious get_ to their cups the consequences are more serious. The Bos- tonians threw some hundreds ofclicsts into the sea, and after having made that enor- mous cup of tea in the bay with salt water, peace was unknown for many years. Now we shall have a series of combats among hogsheads of sugar, more inflammatory than barrels of gunpowder.—Englisli. pa. U. States Bank Stock---the Bulls and Bear's.---We perceived by the New York papers that large sales of United States Bank stock were made in that city on Thursday atll3 I-2, being an advance of 1 dollar per share since the previous day. l_3cts were made some weeks since in this won: many think it will go to 120.

None to be ll(1(lIIERE _1/esttrclay within gun shot of the price! Buyers demandingthe cirtificates, and refusing settlement, and why Be- cause they know it will run up to 120. How provoking---that the people will not believe the President and his Secretary, and think the Bank Insolvent! How pro- voking, too, that the Secretary does not re- move the deposits, or rather how provoking that the mcrcliants remove the deposits, as fast as they are received, for return duties. By the way of episode, we may just say that the amount ofreturn duties is estimated 1tl2--- NewJYoflo - — - sipoonoo Boston and Salem, 2,000,000 Philadelphia, - - 1,000,000 - 1,000,000 Nlaking $8,000,000 Instead of two and a half, as estimated by Mr. M’Lauc. So that we still repeat what we said some time ago, that the Secretary will be short of funds before he pays off all the cirtificatcs for return duties. Mr. Van l3urcn’s friends, the Bears, who got a sight of the message in anticipation, and calculated so largely upon its effects, growl and fret, and so they may, for they have been severely scalded. But their fretting is all to no purpose. Neither their stock—jobbiiig manoeuvers, nor the editors of those voracious organs, the Globe and the Standard, will get them out of the scrape. Those who are able must pocket the loss, and those who are not, must break and begin again.

Eng. ______._______ Daniel 0’Cmzlwll.---“Daniel O’Connell is indeed no common man,-—-thougli the man of the cominonalty. His power is so great, that at this moment it only depends on him to raise the standard of rebellion from one end of the island to the other. lie is, however, too sharp-sighted, and much too sure of attaining his end by safer means, to wish to bring on any such violent crisis. He has ce1'tainly.sliown great dex- terity in zfvailing himself of the temper of the country at this moment, legally, open- ly, and in the face of the government, to acquire a power scarcely inferior to that of the sovereign; indeed, though without arms or armies, in some instances far sur- passing it :---for how would it have been possible for His Majesty George 1V. to withhold 40,000 of his faithful Irishineii for three days from whiskey-drinking; which O’Connell actually accomplished in the me- morable Clare election. The entliusiasm of the people rose to such a height, that they themselves decreed and inflicted a pan- ishmentfor drunkenness. The delinquent. was thrown into a certain part of the river, and held there for two hours, during which time he was to undergo frequent submer- sious. The next day I had a -fuller opportunity of observing O’Conr2ell. On the whole, he exceeded my expectations. His exterior is attractive ; and the expression of intelligent good-nature, united with deterinination and prudence, which marks his countenance, is extremely winning. He has, perhaps, more 6f persuasiveness, than of genuine large and lofty eloquence; and one frequently perceives too much design and manner in his words. Nevertheless, it is impossible not to follow his powerful arguments with interest, to view the martial dignity of his carriage without pleasure, or to refrain from laughing at his wit. It is very certain that he looks much more like a general of Napoleon’s than a Dublin advocate. This resemblance is rendered much more strik- ing by the perfection with which he speaks French,---liaving been educated at the Jesuits’ Colleges at Douai and St. Omer. His family is old, and was probably one of the great families of the land. His friends, indeed, maintain that he springs from the ancient kings of Kerry,---an opinion which no doubt adds to the reverence with which he is regarded by the people. It appears that he was regarded by the other members of his family with almost religious entlnisi- asm. He is about fifty years old, and in excellent preservation, though his youth was wild and riotous.” Cape (la Verds.---Another vessel (the brig Franklin, Capt. Lyle,) is about to sail from Philadelphia, with provisions for‘ the relief of the Cape de Verd sufl'ercrs. A communication to the Philadelpliia Coin- mittec closes as follows : “ A great number of dwellings are found converted into sepulchres, enclosing the dry or putrid remains of their once happy iii- inates. VVholc streets and squares are seen strewed with the (lying and dead left unburied, for want of help to perform the last rites; it being difiicult to dispose of them even by fire. Along the roads and all over the country, are met scattered heads, without bodies, and limbs and fragments, of the human frame, either dry or putrid, and in such a manner disfigured, as not to be identified by friends or relative. Such was the devastation from Feb. 1832, until Nov. of the same year‘, that the Island of St. Antonio, inhabited by 22,000 people, has already lost, according to the best informa- tion, about l0,000; Fogo, 12,000; Bravo, upwards of 8,000. But, Vista and Mayo have sufl'ered less, owing to the great efforts of some of their merchants, who, at every cost or risk, have made some small impor- tations of the most necessary articles, and distributed them among the most needy; part for money and part in charity. _And though a few among us, were able either through personal efforts or good fortune to procure some personal relief, they could by no means escape the general evil :---huma- nity compelled then; to divide with the hun- gry their scanty portion, that they might spare themselves the double pain of seeing so lieart-rending a scene and not mitigating Other Ports, - - the intensity of the evil as far as lay in their _ _: .__-__- - . c A .

Unable yet to ascertain which of theislands suffered most, and anxious for the object of his mission, he proceeded on his course towards this Is- land, and here landed the remainder of his cargo; part to be sent back to Antonio, and part to be forw:irded to St. Nicolan.” NORWALI£ GAZETTE.

This subject has been agitated by men of.all parties, in this vicinity, since the election and the prevailing sentiment appears to be, that it is required. We would call the attention of our Legislators to the following art'c'e from the Bridgeport Farmer. Our Metlwrl of Election.—We hope our Legislature will not pass through an- other session until they liave taken this subject into consideration. It is one of the poorest meanest systems that was ever abopted, to say nothing about the ever- lasting neverending job of writing votes. The result furnishes no just criterian by which to judge of the strength of parties in the state: the time now "required for each imdividual to hand in his votes for representatives and state oflicers is so long, that most of the voters rather hazard the result of the election, than to wail: three or four hours for an opportunity to de- posit them in the ballot box. Now there is no need of this wast of time, this long delay to each individual who desires to give in his vote for all the oflicers of the state. hours for each to do the business in. Let the ballot box be open the whole or half of the day, and after the representatives are shosen,let the names of those for governor lient. governor, secretary, treasurer, and member of congress, be placed npon one ticket, and deposited in the box. This would require comparatively but little time, and those whose business required their presence in another direction, could vote and be off. 0—~uo>m~ M Cmk omahhhmo h ' gmmmwgmm 8 ’ gwwm¥oofl"4 Judson. .
